About Cascadia
In Cascadia, we strive to build a community that celebrates each individual and makes a social and cultural contribution to society. All members of our community, regardless of ability, practice caring for the well being of the human spirit within each of us.
Every day is a learning experience at Cascadia, a community where individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities join together to build skills and enjoy artistic and recreational activities. Weaving, candle making, and pottery workshops, as well as artistic activities including painting, music, and drama fill most of our days. A connection to the earth is fostered in the garden program by growing seedlings for transplant, herbs for teas and cooking, vegetables and fruit for eating. The garden crew also cares for the beautiful gardens and yards around the Cascadia Centre and residences.
Our seasonal plays are another highlight of Cascadia life. These festival celebrations often combine the arts of producing creative backdrops, movement, and music. And each summer, the whole community works together to create a large scale installation or at times a performance art piece. Past projects include the intricate mosaics that form pathways and patios throughout our community, yarn paintings ornaments knit around and hung in the trees along our street, refurbishing and painting designs on instruments set throughout our neighbourhood for anyone who passes by to play.
